Happy to try all varieties of earl grey from the various companies but I do keep coming back to this one, in particular the 50 tea bags, not the 'tagged' varieties or other 'versions'.

Has to be made in a pot, about 3/4 pint water for one tea bag then left for a few minutes - a quick stir can hasten the infusion... then into the cup/mug etc..

That comes pretty close to the king of Earl Greys which currently is the Pret take away, but they don't sell the teabags and who makes their Earl Grey is evidently a closely guarded secret... or is it..?

Pity that it is now recently increased to £3 a box, but still worth it.

I first discovered this delicious and refreshing tea, whilst living in the Middle East. I have never been able to find it anywhere in the UK, in the areas I have lived and it is thrilling to know that I can now order it on-line and be a very happy person - thank you Ahmed Tea.

The best Earl Grey tea ever!! I have been drinking Earl Grey for 20 years and have tried many many varieties but nothing compares to this.
Many Earl Grey teas can be quite weak and tasteless but the full bodied taste of this tea just hits the spot. I have been buying this tea for 10 years and literally couldn’t live without it!!

Ahhhh a lovely cup of tea

By Janet Carmichael

I was given a cup of Ahmad Earl Grey Tea by mistake while in Lisbon and what a very happy mistake it was because I just love it. Scoured Lisbon for a supermarket that stocked it and bought some, but oh my what am I to do when I go home to Australia? It is a beautifully fragrant tea that somehow manages to be both full-bodied yet easy on the taste at the same time. I think I can also taste a hint of rose water but that may just be my taste. I'm going to try to get some more in England to take home to Melbourne so that I can site down with a nice cup of tea and my memories of Lisbon.

I really love Ahmad Tea's Earl Grey. I've tasted other brands Earl Grey tea but they can't compare to Ahmad Tea. The tea is really exquisite and I always bought the biggest box of Earl Grey tea bags. Enjoying earl grey tea is definitely perfect while relaxing and when I want to de-stress from my exams.

I have tried a variety of Earl Grey teas, but Ahmad Tea Earl Grey is the best. The perfect amount of bergamot flavour and aroma makes such a smooth and wonderful cup of tea for any time of the day. Definitely my comfort cup of tea.
